Preparation

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Cook for five minutes, stirring. Do not allow to brown. Meanwhile scald the milk and add to the flour-butter mixture.
2. Add the bay leaf, herb bouquet, salt and pepper. Put the mixture in the top of a double boiler and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Add the crumbled cheese and egg yolks. Mix until smooth.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a souffle dish. Whip the egg whites until they stand up in a peak. Fold the cheese mixture into the egg whites and pour into the souffle dish. Sprinkle with thyme.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the souffle has puffed up with a golden brown top.
